This: "I have not been able to regain mouse or keyboard functionality within it" sounds an awful lot like an MTU mis-match between your system and the rest of the network. Ask your VM system programmers what the VM TCP/IP MTU specification is, and make sure that yours matches (ifconfig iucv0). Then see if the problem goes away.

No errors complaining of a corrupted tarball file. I have been simply closing the secure shell as I have not been able to regain mouse or keyboard functionality within it. The downloaded file size matches exactly the 5,686,280 bytes you indicated, and the URL is http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.020.tar.gz?use_mirror=t elia I used the Reston VA mirror. Webmin v1-030 is also now available. Unfortunately, I did not see an MD5SUM program to download along with webmin. I did take the liberty of downloading this file again, but the results were the same. I also tried tarballing MySQl again - ng. Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself, but when I requested that the Linux VM machine be configured, I took the liberty of asking for a few things. Namely, that the max of 4 processors be specified on the Machine ESA statement, and that the max of 256MB ram be allocated to the Linux VM User instead of the default 128. Additionally, I requested that IUCVs be employed instead of CTCs for improved performance. I was motivated to ask for these things based upon the Linux VM cookbook that I found at: http://reason.marist.edu/cookbook.pdf. I suspect that these requests were ignored. Configuration always made a big difference on other platforms. Why not under VM? Given the boundary between the system programmers and the Linux team, I am not sure how to verify the configuration and/or whether it matters. Thanks again for both of your responses.

(Probably not, since you talk about trying to run setup.sh) Does tar complain about a corrupted archive? Did you compare the file size to what was on the FTP/web server? According to what I can find, the file should be 5,686,280 bytes, with an md5sum of ca559d49ad71abf721564df8436de2cf.

My problem is that after I have SFTP'd webmin-1.020.tar.gz to the server, the following command hangs evey time: tar -xzvf webmin-1.020.tar.gz To make matters worse, I tried to launch setup.sh anyway, and got a non-working webmin (totally blank home page). So, I could stand some direction on how to remove this flawed webmin installation. The same anomaly occurs when I try to tarball mysql-3.23.53-unknown-linux-gnu-s390.tar.gz . At least on this one I refrained from any setup. This really makes it tough to install programs. Naturally, I want to blame our system programers for incorrectly setting up the Linux VM. Especially since this never happened when I tarballed files on PC's that I configured running various Linux distributions. However, I thought I would check here first since RH seems to march to the beat of a different drummer. Are there alternative installation techniques that I should consider with this OS? Thank you in advance for your time.
